If it was a serious one (which we don't get in the UK but whatever..) I'd go into my garden.... Not sure why others haven't said this; you're much safer in an open outside area where nothing is going to fall on you and kill you.

Probably go and stand in the stairwell, I think it's pretty well reinforced... although it's ability to withstand an earthquake is questionable. I'm 7 floors up with floor to ceiling windows so doing a runner probably wouldn't be an option.

We've had two mild ones in the South East over the last 4 years, and according to earthquake experts, this is going to be a regular thing down here, esp in our town!
They're pretty cool when they're small.
